Question:
And its third part in this message also says: I want to speak about the imam’s sutrah, and especially children passing in front of the worshippers.
Answer:
If the worshipper takes an imam, whether he is an imam or not, if he takes something in front of him, if he takes his imam’s sutrah the size of the back of a saddle, meaning he takes something standing in front of him, whether a wall or anything that stands in front of him, then he does not mind who passes behind him, he does not mind who passes behind the curtain, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained to his ummah (Muslim community) that if a person prays facing a sutrah and someone passes behind it, that does not affect him? Yes.
